Development of regulatory-compliant, AI-based design tools for aircraft components
Bachelor / Master thesis / Research thesis
Bachelor’s / Master’s / research thesis
As part of its current research projects, the Chair of Aircraft Engineering is working on the development of AI-based design methods for aircraft components. The complex verification procedures currently used for the certification of aircraft components – involving physical tests combined with numerical simulations – are to be replaced by the AI-based tools developed. This will initially be demonstrated using the example of sandwich-structured components used in aircraft interiors.
To develop and train the AI models, certification-compliant numerical simulation models are required that can accurately replicate virtual component tests. To achieve this, simulation models of the components and the relevant test setups must first be developed, and their conformity subsequently verified through experimental testing.
The projects offer the opportunity to work on exciting topics as part of undergraduate or final theses (Bachelor’s, Master’s, Diploma) with the following key areas of focus:
- Identification of example components, application scenarios and suitable AI models
- Design of simulation methods compliant with certification requirements
- Further development of FE model generators for virtual testing
- Simulation of the structural behaviour of sandwich components
